Indian outsourcing giant Infosys has been awarded a five year IT services contract with car manufacturer BMW.

The contract included infrastructure maintenance, support and operation, covering web services, CMSs and overall IT systems.

In order to deliver the contract, Infosys are creating a new delivery centre in Munich, in proximity to BMW’s headquarters, as part of a global framework management service.

For the Indian outsourcer the expansion into Germany fits well with the organisations goal to increase its European market share.

Infosys has recently increased its European capabilities in the end of 2012, with the multi-million acquisition of Swiss based SAP development consultancy Lodestone.
